Quick change in the basic pension? The supplement should “not be a pittance” for all pensioners. In order to receive the supplement, you must have at least 33 years of so-called basic pension periods.
Pensioners with a monthly income of up to 1,250 euros for single people receive the full basic pension supplement. For marriages or registered civil partnerships, the limit is 1,950 euros. For incomes over 1,600 euros (couples: 2,300 euros), the portion above this amount is taken into account in full.
